With trying to figure out how to make his fortune off the homeless and disaster victims I seriously thought he was Right Wing somewhere. And since this is the Pit and I am originally from the Scranton area, I think I’ll wack off to pictures of Mary Jo Kopechne a while. :o Oooops ------ lost track of names. Program? Anyone got a program? (And Foots? I think I’ve triple-posted a time or two. So while we’re both trying to do better you aren’t the worse sinner.) ---

> [@kopek](#): > > Leftist bias?

I am more of a Rightist bias 🙂 I also cannot help but note that it is often precisely those needs of mine that are making somebody a fortune with relatively little lawsuits and regulations that are met best and cheapest. Like, cheap groceries (well, ok, more regulations there) and Walmart clothing and good computers. By contrast, highly regulated stuff like housing is quite expensive. Also (hey, it’s the pit anyway), so we just got hit by snow over here in Massachusetts. So the authorities plowed the walkways and dumped all the snow on our lawn, and the snow there is going to blockade water from leaving our yard when it all melts (the local drainage topography gets messed up by the snow). Apparently they had no profit motive to do things somehow better… So I ended up digging a big ditch in the snow to make sure there is appropriate drainage. Am I supposed to go try alter collective policies of the condo association now in a democratic fashion? IMHO using more profit motive and more attention to the needs of the customer would have been a better idea 🙂 ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > Damn vagaries about personal insults There are none in the Pit. There’s a list of words you can’t use, and you can’t threaten or wish physical harm on posters or their families. That’s it. And, even if you do screw up, for the first few times all you’re going to get is a “no warning issued” by Gfactor. He’s cool like that. ---

Like, cheap groceries (well, ok, more regulations there) and Walmart clothing and good computers. By contrast, highly regulated stuff like housing is quite expensive. Yep, the only reason that a 15.5 ounce can of green beans and one and a half yards of fabric sewn into a shirt cost less than enough lumber, concrete, plumbing, wiring, masonry, roofing material, and labor to make a 1300 square foot house is government regulation. (Hint: anyone who believes that supermarkets are under fewer government regulations or less oversight than housing is displaying a level of ignorance that precludes them from making any intelligible comments on the topic.) ---

It’s because society doesn’t give a flying fuck about your lawn when compared to the safety of pedestrians using the sidewalk. ---

I am more of a Rightist bias 🙂 \ That’s why I asked for a program. As I hit “post” I realized I had missed the shift from you to Wesley. But in my defense, I had money riding on that game and I just naturally confuse easily. :smack: ---

Hmmm. Well, a motion has been made and seconded that I kill myself. In theory, I suppose I should open the floor for discussion, and then put the matter to a vote. In practice, I’m not going to do that. One of the benefits of being a loathsome creature worthy of immediate death is that I can decline to follow parliamentary procedure. ---
